In the Southern North Sea NOTES ON THE OCCURRENCE OF SOME POORLY KNOWN DECAPODA (CRUSTACEA) IN THE SOUTHERN NORTH SEA by J. P. H. M. ADEMA Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden, The Netherlands F. CREUTZBERG & G. J. VAN NOORT Netherlands Institute for Sea Research, Texel, The Netherlands With 9 text-figures, 6 tables, 5 maps INTRODUCTION Since April 1972 an ecological trawl-survey programme has been undertaken by the Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ), Texel, in the southern North Sea with the R. V. "Aurelia". The main object is to obtain information on distribution, density, biomass and fluctuations of crawling or swimming demersal (epibenthic) fauna such as small fishes, shrimps, prawns, crabs, asteroids, ophiuroids and some gastropods, for the evaluation of the role of these carnivores in the benthic ecosystem of the southern North Sea. Sedimentological aspects of the area are described by Creutzberg & Postma (1979). Within the context of the present paper the most important feature is the mesh of 5 x 5 mm2 of the cod end of the 51/2 m beam-trawl used and the extensive area of 5000-10,000 m2 covered during each haul. These exceptional circumstances resulted into faunistically interesting catches which gave rise to a cooperation with taxonomic specialists of the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie (RMNH), Leiden. The present paper deals with decapod crustaceans, collected during "Aurelia"-cruises, which are considered to be scarce or rare in the southern North Sea, completed with data from bottom-samples and other sources. The species in question are: Pandalina brevirostris, Spirontocaris lilljeborgii, Alpheus macrocheles, Pontophilus spinosus, Pontophilus bispinosus, Galathea dispersa, Ebalia tuberosa, Ebalia tumefacta, Ebalia cranchii, Atelecyclus rotundatus, Monodaeus couchii, Callianassa subterranea, Callianassa tyrrhena, Upogeb ia stellata and Upogebia deltaura. Of the genus Macropodia a number of specimens have been collected, which partly were identified as M. linaresi. Other specimens, however, represent one or two new species. On Macropodia in the southern North Sea a seperate paper will be published (Van Noort & Adema, in preparation).

The species should be rather scarce in the southern North Sea; it has one time been found 20 miles off the coast of Walcheren, Zeeland, approximately at 5Γ3ΓΝ 03°10'E (Heerebout, 1974; Holthuis & Heerebout, 1976). The species however, has frequently been found in the southern North Sea during the "Aurelia"-cruises; the results of the first five cruises are listed in table 1 (after Van Leeuwen, 1975; Van Noort, Van Leeuwen & Creutzberg, 1979a, c & d; Van Noort & Creutzberg, 1981). On 27.ix. 1980 a single specimen of P. brevirostris was collected in the Oosterschelde near Flauwers, on the island of Schouwen, province of Zeeland, the Netherlands (leg. J. C. Post). This appeared to be the first record of this species within the Dutch territorial waters. The specimen forms part of the col­ lection of the Leiden Museum. Family HIPPOLYTIDAE Bate, 1888 Spirontocaris lilljeborgii (Danielssen, 1859) (fig. 1) Spirontocaris lilljeborgii; Holthuis, 1950: 43, fig. 14. One specimen of Spirontocaris lilljeborgii (Danielssen) was collected on 9.x. 1975 at 53°00'N 04°37'E (Sta. 352), near the south-west coast of the island of Texel. This is the first record of this species for the Netherlands. According to Holthuis (1950) the species could be expected in Dutch waters. Fig. 1. Spirontocaris lilljeborgii, length 62 mm (after Holthuis, 1950). 12 ZOOLOGISCHE BIJDRAGEN 28 (1982) Family ALPHEIDAE Bate, 1888 Alpheus macrocheles (Hailstone, 1835) Alpheus macrocheles; Smaldon, 1979: 48, fig. 16. Four specimens of Alpheus macrocheles (Hailstone) were collected during the "Aurelia"-cruises; these are the first records of this species for the entire North Sea. The species is known from the Channel; in Great Britain it is recorded as far as Portland, at the south-coast (Smaldon, 1979). The specimens were col• lected on 25.ii.1976 at 52°48'N 02°34'E (Sta. 411, 1 ex.) and at 52°33'N 02°43'E (Sta. 413, 3 ex.). Family CRANGONIDAE Haworth, 1825 Pontophilus spinosus (Leach, 1815) Pontophilus spinosus; Holthuis, 1950: 83, fig. 28. Smaldon, 1979: 112, figs. 41d, 50. During the "Aurelia"-cruises three specimens of Pontophilus spinosus (Leach) were collected in the southern North Sea: one specimen on 18.xi. 1974 at 53°49.5'N 04°05'E (Sta. 325), the two others on 16.X.1975 at 53°35.5'N 03°10'E (Sta. 369) and 53°40'N 03°25'E (Sta. 370). The locality of Sta.325 is situated 45 miles north-west of the island of Texel; the species has not been recorded before from so close to the Dutch coast. In the southern North Sea P. spinosus is known from the coast of Northumberland, Great Yarmouth, the White Bank, the Dogger Bank and Helgoland (Holthuis, 1950); according to Smaldon (1979) the species has been found along all British coasts. The specimen of Sta. 325 forms part of the collection of the Leiden Museum, the two others are in the collection of the Netherlands Institute for Sea Research. Pontophilus bispinosus Hailstone, 1835 (tables 2-4) Pontophilus bispinosus; Holthuis, 1950: 84, figs. 29, 30. Van Leeuwen, 1975: 17, figs. 8, 30, 31, 32, 35. Van Noort, Van Leeuwen & Creutzberg, 1979a: 10; 1979b: 10; 1979c: 10. Van Noort & Creutzberg, 1981: 9. According to Holthuis (1950) Pontophilus bispinosus Hailstone is known from the following localities in the southern North Sea: the Dogger Bank, Helgoland, Borkum, the Deep Hole, the Deepwater-Channel and from a locality IV2 mile north-west of the lightship "Terschellingerbank". The species has frequently been found in the southern North Sea during the "Aurelia"-cruises; the results of the first five cruises are listed in table 2 (after Van Leeuwen, 1975; Van Noort, Van Leeuwen & Creutzberg, 1979a, b, c; Van Noort & Creutzberg, 1981). The collection of the Leiden Museum holds a few specimens collected in the southern North Sea (table 3) and also a few specimens from the stomaches of fishes caught in the same area (table 4).

Holthuis, Isabella Gordon and Jacques Forest) finished the posthumous work of Ricardo Zariquiey Álvarez (1968) on decapod crustaceans of the Iberian Peninsula. No lists of decapod fauna specifically covering this area have been published since then, and an update is needed. The current list of brachyuran crabs of the Iberian Peninsula comprises 140 species, which is 35 species more than the 105 valid species listed in Zariquiey Álvarez (1968).

The habitat is given as particularly as the materials pos- sessed the but as have by Museum permit ; many specimens been procured from dealers, it is often impossible to give the place from whence they are derived, except in the most gene- ral terms. Those specimens which have been presented to the Mu- seum have the name of the donor marked immediately after the habitat, and in general, the collection from whence the specimen has been purchased, or procured in exchange, is also marked as it often some to its ; gives authenticity history. In the adoption of generic and specific names, it has been thought right to use, wherever it was possible, that which was IV INTRODUCTION. first to the : as applied species far as regards the specific there is names, comparatively little difficulty in the applica- tion of this rule but simple ; generic names have been used by different authors in senses so widely different, and the groups which they were meant to designate have been so va- riously extended and restricted, that it was no easy matter to determine, where several names had been used, which of them ought to be preferred.

  • Decapod Crustacean Fauna of the Aegean Sea: New Information, Check List, Affinities

With 2 Text-Figures and 4 Tables. ATHANASIOS KOUKOURAS & COSTAS DOUNAS & MICHAEL TURKAY & ELENI VOULTSIADOU-KOUKOURA. Abstract. [KOUKOURAS, A. & DOUNAS, C. & TURKAY, M. & VOULTSIADOU-KOUKOURA, E. (1992): Decapod crustacean fauna of the Aegean Sea: New information, check list, affinities. — Senckenbergiana marit. 22 (3/6): 217-244, 2 figs, 4 tabs.; Frankfurt a. M.] The examination of certain decapod crustacean collections from the Aegean Sea and the review of the relevant literature showed that the number of the species known from this area is 231. Seven of these species are reported for the first time from the eastern Mediterranean and three from the Aegean Sea. For the 19 more interesting species found, information on their distribution and their habitat is given. The numbers of decapods known from the entire Mediterranean, the Adriatic Sea, the coast of Israel and the Black Sea, according to the existing literature, are estimated. The affinities among the decapod faunas of the above areas are estimated by the coefficient of CHEKANOWSKI together with the number of species common to each pair of areas. The most strongly related fauna to that of the Aegean Sea is the fauna of the Adriatic. The fauna of the coast of Israel is more related to that of the coast of Cyprus although their degree of affinity is lower than that between Adriatic and Aegean. The two pairs of areas have an affinity with each other of about 60 %.
